The Jaguar XJ luxury sedan will soon offer an all-wheel-drive system, broadening the car’s appeal to buyers living in snowier regions of the country. According to Autocar, the system’s launch will coincide with a redesign of the XJ in less than two years.

Currently, all Jaguar models on sale come only with rear-wheel drive. While that’s sure to please enthusiasts and traditionalists, Jaguar sells large numbers of cars to customers in the snowier states in the U.S. Competitors like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz offer all-wheel drive on their luxury sedans, so it would make sense for Jaguar to follow suit.

The new car will debut around 2013, and could spawn other models, like a coupe, station wagon, or a shooting brake. It will succeed the X-Type as a competitor to the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Audi A4. The X-Type was killed off after 2008.
